That goal

Yep being a multi millionaire is just not enough today.

Having a lot of money should never be enough. I say fair play to him for striving for some success to go alongside his money. It would’ve been much easier for him to stay at Villa where he’s already a hero.

Loyalty doesn't exist in my trade. If I'm working for £450/1000 bricks and another firm is offering £500/1000, I'm off.

What if £500 is only offered for one year, and £450 offered for 3yrs. Pedant, but I know what you mean.

Pedant indeed.

If a team end up drawing 2-2 but in the 50th minutes a goal was unfairly chalked off due to a ref cock-uo.
The common logic is….”if the ref hadn’t blundered we‘d have won 3-2, so the ref has cost us 2 points”.


However this is a flawed logic because goals change games…some teams start sitting back losing momentum…losing teams push forward threatening goals but are then open to the counter attack…some teams gain confidence and go on to score more goals and the timing of a goal can be so important.

My point is……we’ll never know what effect the ghost goal really had….if that goal has been allowed…it might have given Villa a big kick up the backside and they come back to win. So weirdly that disallowed goal might have cost Villa 2 points and gained us an extra point,

The only scenario that I agree that a mistake directly effects the result of a match is if a ghost goal occurs in the last 2 or 3 minutes of a match.

Agree
Think back to the Euro 2005 final ‘miracle in Istanbul’

Milan score first, then another 2 times before half time
Liverpool come out and score 3 in the second half, why? Cos they had to…..

You can’t say that we’d have held the lead, as much as you can’t say Villa wouldn’t have responded

Do we think had it been t’other way round Hendo or Egan would have gone up to ref and fessed up - bloody hope not!!

Just one of those things

Covid was the bigger turning point for me. Without a global pandemic I'm fairly convinced we go on to play in Europe and Villa go on to play in the Championship.

Again, that could only happen to Sheffield United.
